Da T.R.U.T.H. - Our World lyrics

rate me

[Chorus]

Welcome to our world

No killers, drug dealers

Guerillas, no villains

Christ told us that most of them won't feel us

Welcome to our world

No hustlers, customers

Everybody in the building

Get your hands up with the rest of us

[Verse One]

If The Game could give props to Biggie, Pac and Dre

And the whole rap world could give love to "J"

And they could pay homage to Jam Master Jay

And commemorate the heroes that passed away

Then I could proceed with what I have to say

And pay respect to all the godly men that passed The Faith

Yeah, they went ahead of us- now, the path is straight

And died so that we could have life passed the grave

From prophets to the priests- we trace it back to the greats

Take it back to the days when faith had a face

And not just a mouth when the saints grabbed the grace

And I ain't talkin' about the prayer before you pass the plate

I'm talkin' 'bout what taught them to stay fast and trade

The pleasures of this life for Ahaz's hate

Now, I know they "wasn't" perfect but play back the tapes

And history will show how the saints' path was shaped

[Chorus]

[Verse Two]

People got questions like-

How come ya'll don't talk about Martin and Malcolm

But y'all always talkin' bout Calvin and Luther

'Cause these are the dudes that introduced us to truth

And the fruit that's produced in us is the outcome

So from now until the day that we die

We'll occupy with the things of God while our mouths run

That's unique to the saints- you know how roots run deep in the faith

Let me explain what I mean

You know I mean what I say

We're following after the pioneers leading the way

Apostles like Paul and others that were labeled the way

It was either all or nothing- there could be no more gray

These were the writers of the Bible we believe in today

I know they're gone but not forgotten- when we read them their sway

Is so strong we say so long to the evil- I pray

That His people would read those leaders and say

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]

Y'all know we're the legs and feet of the legacy

Predestined to be- before the pregnancy

We're all just a piece of the puzzle- if I could speak for myself

I'm walking in the footprints that were left for me

Now, I know I just quoted one of their poets

But take note- I just stole it to help show them the recipe

How the past and the present- once plastered together

Led up to the path of our destiny

[Break]

[Verse Three Countinued]

Since the baton has been passed

We want to write 'em a pass and invite them to our world

Where the mind has been transformed

By the power of Christ, we draw lines in the sand

That would explain the unpopular stance

Like pro-life that wouldn't heighten the chance

Of being liked- do we care- I wouldn't lie to my fams

So, while the wicked sing songs that got them in a trance

We sing songs and hymns like the bottom of your pants

'Cause we're different- we bless those that hate us

While in the West Coast, they say let's load the bangers

Over-dress codes— no dress clothes— we're strangers

Saints in the foreign land— where the best road to fame is

Playing low— praying and saying no

To our fleshly impulses post weighing the pros and cons

We don't close our eyes- we stay sober

So you know we're opposed to wine

Or at least getting drunk— we propose to our wives

And say I do before we close the blinds

No boasting and pride, no boasting in "I"

Pray that you and I would be a poster child

In the Kingdom of God where Christ is Lord

We submit unto the authority— His righteous sword

Life in Christ— otherwise life is a bore

So we abhor evil— that which is a sight for sore eyes
